Worth it? AA points in Mana Flow?

Hest · 04-07-2009, 05:53 PM

Hi All:

Was wondering with Mythical if it was worth 5 points to reduce mana flow from 60 seconds to 50 seconds?

I found the points into channel was for sure worth it...but I am doubting it for Mana Flow. Just seems 10 seconds will not make that much difference?

I would refer to the Achievement guide - http://www.eq2flames.com/coercers/22...nt-points.html.

But if you raid, it's useful. Plus if you are going for end line ManaWard - you need to spend those points somewhere and other than channel the other areas aren't useful.

I did read the guild. I don't agree with it 100 percent. I think the intent there was if you are raiding 100 percent of the time in TSO...then the guild is about dead on.

Mana ward ..not sure if it is really useful. I speced it for a while then unspeced it.

I find thought snap very useful in group situations. I know I can always use the mirror...but trying to find a balance.

So..from your recommendation...go for it?

I personally find the fast reuse + the bonus from the myth very worth it, I love casting it and have it go off 3 seconds later. 5 points in it for me

It also allows the return to go in faster, as well as the reuse. Thus instead of a huge delay between casting and actual power return, its only 5 seconds at max.

In the end, it really depends on how you play. If you never use the spell or never encounter power mana draining mobs, then its pointless. I used it alot more than channel, though, in comparable nonraid situations. If you don't, then don't bother. I can only recommend what works for me, but everyone's different.

Ah...thanks Revel. That is the part I was missing. I didnt realize that it allowed return to go in faster.

5 points it is!

why don't you use manaflow on another groupmember of your target so atleast one illu can support him aswell...?

You obviously need it for any tso raid mob. They are loaded with manadrain crap.
